ased at Mackenders on Bellrope Lane in Roydon, Diss RFC currently competes in the London 2 North East League.
They are led by the team of President Duncan West and Chairman Tim Passmore and the club is looking to progress
under their guidance.
They were first established in February
of 1958 when a small group of rugby
enthusiasts met at the Two Brewers to
discuss the formation of a new rugby
club. Their motives ranged from not
wanting to travel to Norwich for a
home game, to wanting to learn rugby
or get back involved with the game
after time away.
The meeting led to a small Committee
being set up and the new club went on
to play their first fixture in March of the
same year when they took on Norwich
City College. They have come a long
way since then, putting together a
history of which they have every right
to be proud and some of their founder
members are still at the club.
